I just wanted to update you: Clonazepam is amazing. I didn't want to take it, but I had a rubbish day, and my head was roaring. I wasn't sure it would even do anything because, in the past, I had Diazepam, and it did nothing. I thought, at best, it would maybe make me not care about the noise...

Quick update, 2.5 months since onset: I’ve been feeling much better since I started taking clonazepam (coincidence? Probably). Last night, I went to sleep and literally forgot to play my cricket sounds—I slept all night in complete silence. Right now, I’m in a quiet room, and all I hear is...

You’re only four months into this round. Remember TPP - Time, Patience, Protection. With time, things will improve. Be patient. Hold onto faith and hope. You will feel better, friend.

...helpful, although he had no idea of tinnitus. It's well below par in the UK. No, let me phrase it differently. It's SHITE! I have Clonazepam to hand. Knowing this has preserved me, reducing my symptoms in less than 24 hours. Other than that, Mirtazapine for sleep and daily low doses of...

Clonazepam is strong benzo, 1mg clonazepam = 20mg diazepam, drop should be 10% per week. Schedule 6. Withdrawal from clonazepam (Klonopin) 3mg daily with substitution of diazepam (Valium). (1 mg clonazepam is equivalent to 20mg diazepam) MorningMidday/AfternoonEvening/NightDaily Diazepam...

A lot of people take Clonazepam for years with no issues. If you come off gradually, then there really isn’t an issue. It’s when you stop cold turkey that it’s a problem and even then, if you’re only taking like 1 mg, nothing will happen.

:huganimation: @BrysonKingMe, it will improve, it must! You will be glad you didn't take your life but endured the suffering. You stopped taking the Clonazepam on Monday? I hope the reactivity lessens in a couple of weeks.

Hello Nick, I had positive experience with Clonazepam 0.125 mg + Gabapentin 300 mg per day. I tried this for a short period, like 5 days, and it works. I was tempted to try the Deanxit + Clonazepam combo prescribed to me so I stopped the Gabapentin and switched to Deanxit. I upped my Clonazepam...

Thank you, @Nick47! I was reading about NMDA receptor antagonists and how they could potentially help with tinnitus, and I know Ketamine falls under that umbrella. It’s unfortunate that Bupropion can aggravate tinnitus. Our community cannot win on anything.

Wait 12-24 hours.

@Frayact, Brian started to take Clonazepam, just 4 weeks, very low dosage. He stopped it cold turkey and shortly after he started to experience nasty withdrawal symptoms (hallucinations, as far as I remember). Then he reinstated Clonazepam for 6 weeks and tapered. I recall him saying that while...

@Bart, any difference between Xanax and Clonazepam or are they basically the same thing?

Yes, clonazepam is addictive, like all benzodiazepines, but clonazepam is probably less addictive due to its long half-life, and doctors often switch patients to clonazepam from other benzos to wean people off benzodiazepines.

...that this awful condition put a damper on things. The impact it can have is truly soul-destroying at times. At the moment, I’m taking Clonazepam most days at varying doses, but never more than 0.75 mg a day. It’s definitely lost its effectiveness, but I got tired of the up-and-down...

...then it's only Diazepam, as it has a very long half-life. They would never prescribe short-half-life medications like Lorazepam or Alprazolam. Clonazepam also has a long half-life, so it is less addictive and has efficacy in tinnitus treatment. Zopiclone is also only prescribed for a few weeks.

...hearing therapist. They rarely encounter patients with my type of tinnitus. Since 2012, I have been habituated to my tinnitus and take clonazepam as needed—usually for one or two days a month, then I stop. I consider myself habituated. For a better understanding of what I mean by...

My doctor is also a psychiatrist, so definitely has experience with benzos, which makes his comment more confusing.

I think it is incredibly hard to say, honestly. It is a purely internal perception, so it has no actual volume associated with it, and the relative volume it seems to have compared to the rest of my audio feed is extremely variable. It depends on factors like fatigue, muscle tension, hormone...

...because it was causing stomach issues and didn't help much, aside from aiding sleep. Now, I basically just look forward to taking Clonazepam twice a week, but then I have to deal with the crash and subsequent depression the day after. It's like riding a rollercoaster every week, and it's not...

Aha I stand corrected and good to know. Love your work by the way.

All I know is I'd still have a livable level of tinnitus and some sound tolerance if I hadn't been pushed to take Clonazepam everyday. You probably build tolerance and get worse. I would stay away from all drugs if I were you. If you can live without drugs and eat a low inflammation diet and...

I asked my doctor about Clonazepam and he refuses to prescribe it unless it's for epilepsy or end of life. He said it's much more addictive than Alprazolam which surprised me.

I take it daily. I had been taking 2 mg per day, which is the same dose I took from 1999 to 2005, and then again briefly from 2010 to 2011. I am now down to 1 mg per day. I would say that as the dose has decreased, there has been the usual difficulty that comes with benzodiazepine tapering. I...

Many lives have been lost and ruined by benzos; especially tinnitus sufferers who made the mistake of being on Clonazepam daily. I am stuck at 1.5 mg daily and I have worse tinnitus than I could have ever imagined being able to live with. I wish more people were like you and advocated for...

Clonazepam is no longer amazing. I couldn't stick to "once or twice a week," and it's lost effectiveness. The first time I took it, I fell asleep in the afternoon, which I haven't been able to do since before this started. The second time I took it, I had a couple of drinks, and I remember...
